Another day with the makings of rain in the skies big time. I think even the weatherman suggested the possibility of some showers on and off all day. Whee! We like it to rain here. So far we've only received about 2.8 inches for the whole weekend and last night. We could still use a little more even if I will be forced to start mowing again.
Took a little rest yesterday and the same is my plan for today. Dory has a therapy session for her shoulder and another therapy session for her mind late this morning and early afternoon. Well the second appointment is for a haircut but it does things to her mind. I've seen her happy as a lark after getting a hair cut and I've also watched her bawl after a haircut just by looking into a mirror.
There are several ways to become more aware of life or just some things in life. I didn't visit with the guru on a mountain but I'm about as aware of so many long not thought of parts of my body as I've ever been. I don't recommend falling down seven carpeted steps and landing on your head but it worked for me this time. With the new forced awareness comes some kindness and tenderness for a few of the places that have been so long neglected. Ones chest and back do far more than just provide a place for shoulders, arms and a head. Tho it is my right arm that causes me the most aggravation and that is only because of the raw carpet burn areas. It's also kind of ugly so I won't be looking into many mirrors for awhile. The deal is, my body is as capable as it has been but it seems to prefer obeying my hearts commands at a greatly lessened speed. No jump up spin around pick a bale of cotton for me! And I'm more careful on the steps now too!
Look to your health; and if you have it, praise God, and value it next to a good conscience; for health is the second blessing that we mortals are capable of; a blessing that money cannot buy~Izaak Walton
